Q: How does this compare to using a floor jack for engine support? A: Unlike floor jacks, this beam provides stable, hands-free support that won't slip or require repositioning during extended repairs. Floor jacks can fail or lose pressure, while this steel beam maintains consistent 1,500 lb capacity throughout your service procedure. The wheel-well mounting design distributes weight more evenly than single-point jack support.

Q: Can this support heavy V8 engines? A: With 1,500 lb capacity, it safely supports most 4 and 6 cylinder engines and lighter V8 configurations. Most standard V8 engines weigh 400-600 lbs, well within capacity. However, larger displacement engines or those with heavy accessories may approach the weight limit, so verify your specific engine weight before use for safety.

Q: Is assembly required for this engine support? A: Minimal assembly required out of the box. The telescoping legs and chain hooks adjust manually without additional tools for quick garage setup. The 70 lb unit ships partially assembled with the main beam intact, requiring only positioning and adjustment of the telescoping components to fit your specific vehicle's wheel well dimensions and engine height.
